MLB Rangers vs D-backs Same Game Parlay Predictions at +488 odds

The Rangers are back in front as Texas won Game 3 last night, giving them a 2-1 lead in the 2023 MLB World Series. For tonight, it will likely be a bullpen Game from both teams, so it boils down to this: which arm barn is less tired and can provide more quality innings? Here’s my Rangers vs Diamondbacks Same Game Parlay for Game 4 that I made at FanDuel Sports book and pays out at nearly 5/1 odds. Make sure you also read our  MLB predictions for tonight’s Game . Ketel Marte 1+ hit (-340) Christian Walker 2+ total bases (+100) Rangers ML (-110) Same Game Parlay odds: +488 Ketel Marte 1+ hit (-340) This one is pretty simple. For this leg of the Same Game Parlay to cash, Ketel Marte needs to get at least 1 hit. The reason this leg is so heavily favored is because Marte has recorded a hit in 19 straight postseason Game s, a new MLB record. He extended the streak with a line drive off Jon Gray last night, and he has the chance to extend the streak to 20 Game s on Tuesday nig

Severe drought in the Amazon reveals millennia-old carvings

Severe drought in the Brazilian Amazon has caused the Negro River to reach historic lows, revealing millennia-old carvings previously hidden under water MANAUS -- The Negro River, the major tributary that runs through the Brazilian Amazon, has reached historic lows, revealing millennia-old carvings previously hidden under water. The engravings deeply etched into the black rock along the riverbanks represent human faces, Animals and other figures, and are thought to be 1,000 to 2,000 years old, archaeologists said. “They allow us to understand the way of life of prehistoric populations,” Jaime de Santana Oliveira, an archaeologist with Brazil’s National Historic and Artistic Heritage Institute, said. The scientists think other rocks at the site were used to sharpen arrows and stone tools. The Ponto das Lajes archaeological site is located in the rural area of Manaus, the largest city and capital of Amazonas state. From there, locals and tourists can observe the “Meeting of Waters,” whi

Several acres of 3D-printed artificial reefs are currently being planted in coastal North Carolina to bolster the region's biodiversity. Several acres of 3D-printed artificial reefs are currently being planted in coastal North Carolina to bolster the region's biodiversity and promote new growth of natural reef. The reefs, 3-foot concrete cubes called "Exoforms" that contain a lot of void space to allow marine life to thrive, are being planted in the Palmico River, a large estuary system on North Carolina's Atlantic Coast, Tad Schwendler, COO of environmental solutions firm Natrx, told ABC News. MORE: Hawaii's coral reefs are in peril. What researchers are doing to restore coral ecosystems and preserve biodiversity The roughness and irregularities of the structures leaves room for species at the bottom of the food chain, such as algae and other microorganisms, to grow, which then attract the larger species, Schwendler said. The 15-acre installation is part of a

Erik ten Hag reveals coaching instruction prior to Andre Onana penalty save

Image
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has credited first-team coach Steve McClaren for providing goalkeeper Andre Onana with an instruction prior to his 97th-minute penalty save in Tuesday's 1-0 win against Kobenhavn. Onana stood tall to deny Jordan Larsson's late spot kick to seal the Red Devils' first win in this season's Champions League group stage following losses to Bayern Munich and Galatasaray. The Danish champions competed well from start to finish at Old Trafford and created some of the game's biggest chances but ultimately return home pointless due to Onana's heroics. Scott McTominay's high-boot challenge on Mohamed Elyounoussi while defending a corner was deemed worthy of a penalty by referee Marco Guida, but before Larsson could step up from 12 yards, two notable incidents occurred. The first was Alejandro Garnacho scuffing up the penalty spot without any match official noticing - an offence which would have been punished with a yellow card if

A spacecraft nearly 13 billion miles away in the universe sent new signals to NASA

Image
Have you ever tried starting a car that’s been sitting unused for a couple of decades? There’s no guarantee that will even respond, let alone actually start up. That makes the feat NASA achieved just a few days ago even more impressive. The space agency contacted the Voyager 1 spacecraft in interstellar space after an amazing 37 years of inactivity to briefly activate its thrusters. The Voyager 1 was launched way back in 1977 to observe the outer edges of our solar system. It occasionally communicates with NASA’s Deep Space Network to receive routine commands and beams back data. Sometimes very mysterious data. NASA had to interact with the spacecraft and perform a minor course correction, firing up micro thrusters that hadn’t been activated since 1980. “With these thrusters that are still functional after 37 years without use, we will be able to extend the life of the Voyager 1 spacecraft by two to three years,” project manager Suzanne Dodd

Trump now claims Sidney Powell never represented him, and more campaign trail takeaways

Former President Donald Trump looked to create some separation between him and one of his former lawyers amid mounting legal trouble in Georgia. Former President Donald Trump looked to create some separation between him and a lawyer he had said worked for him -- amid his legal trouble in Georgia, as he continues to deny all wrongdoing. Meanwhile, some of the 2024 Republican presidential candidates weighed in on the Israel-Hamas war, urging the White House to do more while pushing back on a proposal to tie together aid for Ukraine and Israel. Here are takeaways from the campaign trail on Sunday. From 'wonderful lawyer' to 'NOT MY ATTORNEY' After Sidney Powell, an attorney who vocally backed Trump's baseless election fraud conspiracies, last week pleaded guilty in the Fulton County, Georgia, election subversion case, Trump took to social media claiming that she was never his lawyer and went on to repeat false claims about the 2020 race. "Despite the Fake News

Why Aaron Ramsdale isn't in Arsenal's squad to face Chelsea

Image
Aaron Ramsdale has not been named in Arsenal's matchday squad to face Chelsea on Saturday evening. The Gunners return to Premier League action following the October internationals with a trip across London to Stamford Bridge looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the domestic season. They will be without goalkeeper Ramsdale, who was away with the England national team in the last fortnight, though didn't play a minute with the Three Lions.

However, Ramsdale's absence is not due to a fitness or disciplinary issue. The 25-year-old is not with the squad as his wife Georgina has given birth to a baby boy. Ramsdale had relinquished his place as a starter to summer signing David Raya following the September international break. The Spaniard was d

Marquez "cruising" in fast corners as Honda MotoGP woes continue

Image
Marquez endured an eventful opening day of the Australian Grand Prix weekend, as he crashed in both the opening practice session and again in the afternoon's second session, both times at the slow MG right-hander that follows Lukey Heights. The Spaniard went into the weekend downplaying his chances of winning in any of his final races for Honda before he moves to Gresini Ducati next year, as he admitted he was short of confidence on the RC213V following his crashes last time out in Indonesia. Marquez explained that his crashes came as a result of trying to push the limits through the slower corners, where the risks are lower, to make up for his lack of commitment through the faster segments of the track. "I didn’t have confidence and that early crash in FP1 didn’t help," said Marquez after ending up a lowly 16th-fastest in FP2. "Basically, I don’t have a lot of confidence, and there are faster corners. So on the fastest corners I am

United Airlines rolling out plan that lets passengers in economy class with window seats board first

United Airlines says that it will start boarding passengers in economy class with window seats first starting next week, a move that will speed up boarding times for flights United Airlines will start boarding passengers in economy class with window seats first starting next week, a move designed to reduce the time planes spend sitting on the ground. The airline said in an internal memo that it will implement the plan on Oct. 26. The plan – called WILMA, for window, middle and aisle — was tested at several locations and deemed to shave up to two minutes off boarding time. Variations of the WILMA approach have existed for many years. “It spreads people out along the aisle of the airplane so that more people can put their luggage away at the same time. That's the main thing that speeds up the boarding process,” said Jason Steffen, an associate professor of physics at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, who designed his own boarding model a decade ago. The change will begin with pass

Broken rail caused fatal Colorado train derailment that collapsed bridge, early findings show

The truck driver killed when a train derailed and collapsed a bridge over Interstate 25 in Colorado has been identified as a California man A broken rail caused a train derailment that collapsed a bridge over an interstate highway in Colorado, killing a truck driver and blocking the road for days, federal authorities said Tuesday, based on their preliminary investigation. Officials will investigate how the rail broke and why warning systems did not alert crews to the condition of the track, the National Transportation Safety Board said. An agency spokesperson said officials had no reason to believe sabotage caused the derailment . The steel bridge, built in 1958, collapsed Sunday when 30 cars from a BNSF Railway train hauling coal derailed while crossing over Interstate 25 north of Pueblo. The driver of a semitrailer truck passing beneath the bridge was killed. I-25, the main north-south route through Colorado, is expected to remain closed for several more days as crews clear away co
